2000-2201 1982 SG-310
[ Home ] [ Up ]

In 1982 METRO purchased 201 MAN SG-310 articulated coaches. These coaches are very similar to the 1400 series, except for having Wheelchair lifts, electronic destination signs and a lowered top speed. All of these coaches have been retired, replaced by New Flyer D60HF's. After their retirement in 1999 and 2000, 114 coaches were sold to the Chicago Transit Authority to replace their MAN Artics which were rusted out. These coaches were renumbered into the 7300-7413 and many ran around Chicago in Seattle Metro colors with CTA logos applied to them. They were ran until 2003 when they were finally withdrawn from service. Coach 2138 was held onto until about 2005 when it was finally sold off. It was maintained by Metro as a lawsuit bus as it was identical to the 2181 which was involved in the incident that killed metro driver Mark McLaughlin.
